i think flock cameras are incredibly insidious and the increasing militarization and technological capacity of the police has made being in public less private, it doesn’t actually erode any legal protection to privacy in public. let’s be realistic and grounded and not make stuff up without understanding how the law works because that helps no one

All laws are persecuted via precedent. Flock erodes precedent of privacy in public.

there is no precedent for privacy in public because you explicitly have no expectation of privacy in public.

In the relationship of Gov and Civilian you do. Civilian to Civilian you don’t. A cop can’t legally watch your car without an investigation or warrant. But flock can, and police can simply purchase that service.

the police literally can watch your can as long as the want in public without a warrant because there is no expectation of privacy in public. you’re just talking out of your ass you’re blatantly wrong and don’t know what you’re talking about. look up expectation of privacy in public, i am begging you to do the most cursory of research on the subject omfg

not to mention flock isn’t the first widespread camera surveillance, there have been cctv cameras on private and public lands for a very long time the actually difference with flock is they aren’t closed circuit which makes them inherently less secure, they offer built in tracking capabilities, and it’s a private company that responds extremely poorly to security researchers trying to engage in responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities

you’re factually incorrect. i can’t keep having this conversation any further if the actual truth doesn’t mean anything to you

What exactly are you advocating for? Are you pro flock and just a contrarian?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_expectation_of_privacy read the wikipedia page. you do not have a reasonable right to privacy in public places, the only exceptions are places like public bathrooms. your trash is also considered part of this which is why the government can search through your trash without a warrant

no i’m advocating for the truth of what the law states about your expectation to privacy. you are factually incorrect and spreading misinfo doesn’t actually help to fight against the spread of flock cameras or surveillance devices, it just makes you look stupid

Bottom line: thanks to flock (and others) gov longer needs a warrant to track you. Previously the only economic way to do so was via a gps tracker - which required a warrant. This is because your movements are constitutional guaranteed as a right to travel.
